Gluten-Free Chocolate Donut Holes

Every Sunday we would head to church then stop at Dunkin Donuts for some Munchkins….their scrumptious donut holes. It was our treat for the week and the kids (and myself) looked forward to it.

Then our daughter’s diagnosis came — she couldn’t tolerate gluten. Uh oh, not good for our Dunkin Donuts tradition. This is what inspired us to find our own gluten-free chocolate donut hole recipe. Necessity breeds invention, right?

We found some recipes online, but they consisted of some pretty crappy ingredients. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not sure that a healthy donut exists (although I certainly wish one did).

A donut is a donut and they’re meant to be a treat, but it is possible to make a somewhat cleaner version of a donut…

…which is what I’m excited to share with you!

If you or someone you love can’t tolerate gluten, then surprise them with these tasty donuts! Trust me, your loved one has probably found that it is HARD to find a tasty, gluten free donut. They’ll be thanking you.

These donuts are so yummy.

They have the perfect amount of chocolaty-ness and sweetness, and they are perfectly moist. I had to make multiple batches to experiment with the flour to get the right balance of moisture, but I think I did it.
